- No currently available cannula device is designed for venous only cannulation and aortic outflow in a single device, minimizing the risk of large bore vessel cannulation.
- the unique serpiginous nature of the drainage and return portions of the dual lumen cannula described herein advantageously provide maximal flow while minimizing the cannula diameter.
- the devices and methods described herein although technically a “peripheral’’ cannulation technique, advantageously avoid any peripheral arterial cannulation, which is associated with hemorrhagic risk, while at the same time avoids the risk of Harlequin syndrome as the aortic outflow provides anterograde flow, analogous to “central” cannulation.

- this document describes dual lumen cannula devices and methods for their use with systems such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation systems.
- the technology described herein includes a cannula device, and a methodology utilizing the cannula device, to provide complete hemodynamic support incorporating both venous drainage cannula and arterial return cannula in a single cannula device.
- FIGs. 1-4 show an example cannula 100 in place within a heart H.
- the cannula 100 extends to the heart H through the inferior vena cava IVC (e.g., from a femoral vein and an external iliac vein).
- the cannula 100 enters a right atrium RA of the heart H and passes through an opening made in an atrial septum AS of the heart H.
- the cannula 100 then extends into a left atrium LA, crosses a mitral valve MV, and extends into a left ventricle LV of the heart H. In the left ventricle LV, the cannula 100 turns and crosses the aortic valve AV.
- the cannula 100 After crossing the aortic valve AV, the cannula 100 extends into the aorta AO. The distal tip of the cannula 100 terminates in the aorta AO.
- This arrangement can be used for VA-ECMO support, for example, as described further below.
- the cannula 100 includes a proximal portion 110, a middle portion 120, and a distal portion 130.
- the middle portion 120 extends between the proximal portion 110 and the distal portion 130.
- the distal portion 130 terminates at a distal tip of the cannula 100.
- the proximal portion 110 When positioned in a patient as shown in FIGs. 1 and 2, the proximal portion 110 resides in the inferior vena cava IVC and the right atrium RA.
- the middle portion 120 passes through the atrial septum AS and resides in the left atrium LA.
- the distal portion 130 extends through the left ventricle LV, crosses the aortic valve AV, and extends into the aorta AO.
- the proximal portion 110 has a tubular outer wall 113 (which is circular in cross-section) and an inner wall 114 that separates the venous lumen 111 from the arterial lumen 112.
- the inner wall 114 extends along a chord of the circular tubular outer wall 113.
- the inner wall 114 does not pass through a center of the circular tubular outer wall 113 of the proximal portion 110.
- the length of the inner wall 114 is less than a diameter of the circular tubular outer wall 113. Accordingly, at least in the proximal portion 110, the venous lumen 111 and the arterial lumen 112 have differing cross- sectional areas.
- the venous lumen 111 has a larger cross-sectional area than the arterial lumen 112.
- the ratio of the cross- sectional areas of the venous lumen 111 to the arterial lumen ranges from 2: 1 to 2: 1.5, or from 2:0.5 to 2:1.2, or from 2:0.2 to 2:0.8, or from 2:1.4 to 2:1.9, without limitation.
- the proximal portion 110 defines a plurality of elongated openings 115 (e.g., fenestrations, windows, slits, slots, channel openings, oval shaped openings, etc.) that extends through the tubular wall 1 13 of the proximal portion 1 10 and into the venous lumen 111.
- elongated shapes can extend either vertically (as depicted) and/or horizontally, or a mixture of both, or at an acute angle between vertical and horizontal across a length of the cannula 100 at the proximal portions 110 and the middle portion 120.
- the elongate shape of the openings 1 15 helps to reduce shear stress on the blood as it passes through the openings 115 leading to the venous lumen 111.
- the openings 115 allow venous blood from the patient’s inferior vena cava IVC and right atrium RA to enter into the venous lumen 111. However, none of the openings 115 extends through the inner wall 114 of the proximal portion 1 10 and into the arterial lumen 1 12. Instead, the arterial lumen 112 is a fully continuously sealed lumen within the proximal portion 110.
- the middle portion 120 includes both the venous lumen 111 and the arterial lumen 112.
- the venous lumen 111 and the arterial lumen 112 are maintained as separate fluidly distinct lumens throughout the length of the middle portion 120, until the distal end of the middle portion 120.
- the middle portion 120 defines a plurality of elongate openings 125 (e.g.. fenestrations, windows, slits, slots, channel openings, etc.) that extend through a tubular wall of the middle portion 120 and into the venous lumen 111.
- the openings 125 allow blood from the left atrium LA of the patient to enter the venous lumen 111 (z.e., LV venting). However, none of the openings 125 extends through the wall of the middle portion 120 and into the arterial lumen 112. Instead, the arterial lumen 112 is a fully continuously sealed lumen within the middle portion 120 and the proximal portion 110.
- the venous lumen 111 of the proximal portion 110 and the middle portion 120 terminates.
- the arterial lumen 112 continues into the distal portion 130.
- the proximal portion 110 and the middle portion 120 are dual lumen cannulae, but the distal portion 130 is a single lumen cannula (with that single lumen being the arterial lumen 112). Accordingly, the size of the cannula 100 reduces at the transition from the middle portion 120 to the distal portion 130.
- the distal portion 130 is a 14 Fr. or 15 Fr. cannula (without limitation). This transition from the middle portion 120 to the distal portion 130 can be positioned at the mitral valve MV as shown in FIG. 1.
- the distal portion 130 defines a plurality of elongate openings 135 (e.g., fenestrations, windows, slits, slots, channel openings, etc.) that extend through a tubular wall of the distal portion 130 and into the arterial lumen 1 12.
- the openings 135 allow arterial blood supplied from the arterial lumen 112 to enter the aorta AO of the patient.
- the openings 135 are the first and only openings of the arterial lumen 112 through which the oxygen-rich blood can be supplied to the patient via the cannula 100 (i.e.. the arterial lumen 112 is a fully continuously sealed lumen as it passes along within the proximal portion 110 and the middle portion 120).
- proximal portion 110 is shown to illustrate further the configurations of the venous lumen 111, the arterial lumen 112, and the inner wall 114.
- the proximal portion 110 illustrated here can also be representative of the middle portion 120 in some embodiments.
- the heavy arrows in FIG. 5 represent blood flow through the dual lumens 111 , 112 of the proximal portion 110.
- Arrow 101 represents venous blood flow (i.e., oxygen-depleted venous blood mixed with oxygenated LA blood) through the venous lumen 111
- arrow 102 represents arterial blood flow (/. e. , oxygenated blood) through the arterial lumen 112.
- the venous lumen 11 1 and the arterial lumen 112 spiral or twist around each other along the length of the proximal portion 1 10 (and the middle portion 120 in some embodiments). That is the case because the inner wall 114 is configured in a twisted shape, similar to a double helix. It can be said that the blood flow through the proximal portion 110 follows a three-dimensional serpentine or serpiginous course or pathway. This configuration is advantageous because it facilitates both drainage from the entirety of the venous system without risking suction and allows minimization the size of the cannula 100 required for drainage. Increase in the velocity of blood results in concentric flow dynamics.
- the spiral or twisted blood flow pathways will cause the plasma of the blood to tend to reside on the outer wall of the lumens while the cellular phase of blood red blood cells, platelets, etc.) will be more toward the middle of the cannula 100.
- the plasma thereby acts like a cushion for the red blood cells to help prevent red blood cell damage and/or thrombosis.
- FIG. 6 illustrates another example technique for using the cannula 100.
- the cannula 100 is installed in an internal jugular vein JV and advanced to the heart H via the superior vena cava SVC.
- the length of the cannula 100 can be shorter than the cannula 100 used for femoral vein access as shown in FIG. 1.
- the cannula 100 is scalable (in terms of both length and diameters) for various types of usages, patient sizes (including adult and pediatric), and other factors.
- the area defined by each of individual openings 115 of the proximal portion 110 is larger than the area defined by each of the individual openings 125 defined by the middle portion 120.
- the area defined by each of the individual openings 135 of the distal portion 130 is smaller than the area defined by each of the individual openings 125 defined by the middle portion 120.
- the elongate openings 115 of the proximal portion 110 and/or the elongate openings 125 of the middle portion 120 spiral around the central axis of the tubular proximal portion 110 or middle portion 120. In other words, the elongate openings 115/125 can follow a same direction or path that corresponds to the venous lumen 111.
- Radiopaque markers can be positioned at any of multiple suitable positions on the cannula 100.
- a series of radiopaque markers are positioned on the transition portion 116 and/or the distal portion 130.
